i dont want to be just another statistic.
another student who failed chem and math.
another jc kid who gets mediocre grades.
another vet school reject.
another daughter who dissappoints her parents.
another slacker who couldn't reach her stars.
another teenager with warped ideas of beauty.
another soul struggling to love herself wholly.
another face too caught up in the survival of the prettiest.
another female who never get what she wants.
another brat never wanting what she has.
another mindless hedonist who craves instant gratification.
another follower who lives by what others think.
another loser who doesn't get back up on her feet again.
another body who never acheived anything beyond her limits.
another youth who forfeits childhood dreams.
another teenager who just didn't know better.
i don't want to be just another failure.
I'll Fly Away
by Jars of Clay
Some bright morning when this life is over,
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore,
I’ll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
Oh how glad and happy when we meet,
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet,
I’ll fly away.
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallelujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I’ll fly away
To a land where joy will never end,
I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away, oh glory, I’ll fly away
When I die, hallellujah by and by,
I’ll fly away.
You're free now, Grandpa,
no longer bounded by the limitations of your body.
Free to walk, talk, run, fly.
You fought the good fight,you ran the race, you kept the faith.
For eternity with Christ,
You're finally home.
